Pretty much my highlights as well. You are my face into Impossible Germany into Kamera was the best segment of the show for me, while Jesus etc. was the single best moment.

They didn't do my favorite (One Wing) but I still hope to get it on Friday.

I'll be there Friday.

Tonight's show was a Wilco die hard's dream. TWO Yankee Hotel Foxtrot era songs that didn't make the album, in addition to deep cuts from Summerteeth and a variety of other old songs. They weirdly didn't play any A Ghost is Born material, but the set was otherwise awesome.

It's unlikely that they'll play Spiders this tour, as they now have one 7-minute and one 11-minute song added to the setlist. It initially bummed me out, but I don't mind now; I like it when a band shakes up their routine, even if it means leaving out some songs I might want to hear. As for Misunderstood, they played that tonight. I'm hoping for Radio Cure on Friday.

Personally Night 1 edges this slightly. Mostly because i've only heard Candyfloss live once. However, Lam Cat all the way through Dawned on Me sounds just about perfect. Laminated cat, Misunderstood, Magazine called sunset, nothingsevergonna and Casino Queen. Very very nice. I would have taken either of the L.A. shows. over Phoenix. Oh well. I think she's a jar was one of my first favorite Wilco songs. Summerteeth is still my favorite album.

Re: new wilco album/tour

Flip side to that is for someone who really enjoys Wilco but is not a "die-hard" fan I thought the setlist tonight was a bit weak. A Ghost is Born is my fave album and we got zero songs from it. Would have been nice to have a mix of deep cuts and more well known songs but last night seemed to be all about the deep cuts.

Also, agree w TallChris omission of Spiders is huge. That was my fave part of the 09 show. Someone in the front row actually had a real spider with them and Tweedy said something like "Creepiest song request ever"

Re: new wilco album/tour

My theory is the band isn't going to play Bull Black Nova and Spiders in the same set because they sound somewhat similiar and there is this theory that Spiders was sort of the blueprint. Personally, I would prefer they swap out Bull Black Nova for Spiders. I like spiders much more.

Re: new wilco album/tour

I had no idea this happened on NYE. The Flaming Lips + Nels Cline do the Beatles.

Aside from collaborating with everyone on god’s green earth, The Flaming Lips’ other current fascination appears to be covering The Beatles. We’ve already witnessed Wayne Coyne and co’s tripped out version of “I Am The Walrus”, and now Hidden Track points us to pro-shot footage of the band’s recent New Year’s Eve show in Oklahoma City, where they teamed up with Wilco’s Nels Cline for a 17-minute rendition of “I Want You (She’s So Heavy)”. Watch it below.

Re: new wilco album/tour

Does Tweedy never ever play any Uncle Tupelo songs in his/their sets? I know Son Volt regularly includes "Chickamauga", but I've never seen that from Wilco. "New Madrid" or "Gun" would seem to be good candidates.. a segue from "Outtamind Outtasight" into "Gun" would be pretty fuckin badass.

Never seen Wilco cover Uncle Tupelo tunes but when I saw Tweedy/Pete Seeger two years ago, he played New Madrid...

Re: new wilco album/tour

I would absolutley love to hear Gun. He plays those songs on his solo tours. I've heard both of them on bootlegs and stuff. I just checked Wilco Base and he has played it at many of his recent solo shows in 2011 and 2009 but Wilco hasn't played that song as a band since the late 90's.

As far as New Madrid goes, it's a little different. He has played that song both with the band and solo recently. So they definitely don't ignore that one and it's probably the most played Uncle Tupelo song they do.

It looks like Candyfloss makes it into the setlist about 2-3 shows per tour the last couple of years. Wilcobase is awesome for keeping all of these stats. They haven't updated with January shows yet but they will eventually.

Just type in a song and see how often it's played, at what shows and what else was played at that show.

Re: new wilco album/tour

As a fairly new Wilco fan who has never seen them before, I thought last night was fucking amazing! The selection of songs put aside, the performance was just absolutely incredible, and the lighting/projections are really neat. i was totally blown away!

Re: new wilco album/tour

The Black Keys into Wilco at Coachella would have been sweet. heh. Glad you enjoyed it, Andrew. It's always interesting to hear first impressions about a band i've seen near 20 times. over the past 8 or 9 years.

Re: new wilco album/tour

One of my favorite live concert moments. I posted this in this thread before but it never gets old to me. I was so fucked up at this show. These bros behind me started to offer me lots of booze and weed while we were waiting and once the show started I was paranoid as fuck but this moment was magic.

Re: new wilco album/tour

Basically almost sums it up for me. I wouldn't say it ruined my night...but I left that show pretty disappointed. Glad the die-hards were able to enjoy the deeper cuts though.

That's Wilco for you. When they play multiple shows in one city, you should always expect that the setlists will vary drastically across them. Some bands have pretty much the same setlist every show, so unless you're a freak for them, one show is enough. Wilco is the reverse. I'm catching 2 out of 3, missing out on Wiltern, and that's where they did my fave, but that's the risk I took, so no regrets.
